Producer Credits and the Ashli Babbitt vs. George Floyd Paradigm

The hosts thank Dreb Scott for his work on show chapters and transcripts before diving into the final segment. They frame Ashli Babbitt as the 180-degree opposite of George Floyd in the media landscape. While thanking producers like Alejandro Alocer and Miguel Espinal, they note that Babbitt's death as an unarmed white female veteran was treated with "crickets" or justification by the same media outlets that championed Floyd, highlighting a total lack of ideological consistency in mainstream reporting.
